If there is an error with the system when power is switched on, then the status indi-
cator (in the centre of the turning knob) will flash red; the number of flashes will 
indicate the type of error.

 

The table below describes the error indication, and a few possible actions that can 
be taken to rectify the problem. The actions listed are not in any particular order 
and are suggestions only; the intention is that one of the suggestions may help clear 
the problem. If I doubt contact an Approved Repairer.

 

An error indication may continue to flash after an error has been rectified. To clear 
error indication turn off power and turn back on to reset.

 

If you need help, please contact Greencare. The motors and power control units are not designed 
to be repaired by field engineers.
